The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

The
FIR filed against Teesta Setalvad in an Ahmedabad police station is a
most vindictive act by the Modi Government designed as a form of
punishment for her fight for justice on behalf of Zakia Jaffri and other
victim families of the Gujarat violence in 2002. It is a measure of the
contempt for minimum democratic norms by the Modi Government that it
has time and again sought to suppress through threats, warnings, false
FIRs and concocted stories all efforts by Teesta Setalvad and others to
bring out the truth behind the role of the Chief Minister in the
violence. The timing is also suspect as Zakia Jaffri is in the process
of filing an appeal against the ruling of the lower court in favour of
the SIT’s clean chit to Modi.

The latest effort is condemnable. The CPI(M) demands that the FIR be withdrawn.
